Synopsis
Xie Jiu & Shen Beiling This southern city, where the cool evening breeze blows all year round, hides two completely different lives that ended up being entangled throughout their lives. Xie Jiu is a name that no one in Nancheng High School dares to provoke. He is recognized as the top school boy, with stern and sharp eyebrows, a tall and cold figure, and a venomous aura that prevents strangers from getting close to him. At the same time, he is also a well-known school bully outside the school. He is casual, unruly, fights and skips classes, and is random and wanton. Others are in awe, classmates are afraid, and teachers are helpless. In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Jiu is uneducated, surly, and difficult to approach. He is always covered with a layer of cold and hard thorns. No one has seen his gentle appearance, and no one dares to guess his thoughts. Until a marriage that reorganized his family completely disrupted his free and leisurely life. Xie Jiu's father remarried to Shen Beiling's mother. Overnight, a nominal sister appeared - Shen Beiling. Shen Beiling's life has been a long mud and suffering from beginning to end. On the outside, she is quiet, cold and reserved, and looks docile and harmless, but on the inside she carries scars that cannot be healed for more than ten years. She suffers from severe bipolar disorder, and her mood always fluctuates between extreme excitement and extreme collapse. She is sensitive, fragile, gloomy, and paranoid. The root cause of her illness comes from a rotten and suffocated childhood. Growing up, she witnessed her father domestically abusing her mother all year round. The bloodshed, quarrels, and broken family scenes were engraved in her bones and blood and became a shadow throughout her life. At home, she never received any love, and her mother's long-term verbal humiliation and physical beatings poured out all the misfortunes in life on her. At school, she was silent, withdrawn, and unsociable. She suffered endless bullying on campus for a long time, and was isolated, excluded, and maliciously teased. No one can save you, no one can love you, no one can love you. Years of violence and trauma completely crushed her spirit and gave birth to bipolar disorder, which is difficult to cure. Emotional loss, self-denial, intermittent collapse, and self-isolation have become the norm in her life. Under the roof of the reorganized family, Xie Jiu and Shen Beiling were forced to become brothers and sisters. When they first met, the two disliked each other and were very estranged from each other. Xie Jiu didn't understand her illness, but thought this new sister was weird, pretentious, and uncertain. Sometimes she was as quiet as if she had no soul, and sometimes she was silent and weeping, or burst into sudden emotional outbursts. Her moody appearance made the unruly young man impatient. At first, he mistook her for having a weird personality and being pretentious. He even privately felt that she was "mentally abnormal" and he rejected and disliked this sudden sister from the bottom of his heart. And Shen Beiling also looked down on Xie Jiu from the bottom of his heart. In her eyes, who had been depressed all year round and accustomed to silence and forbearance, Xie Jiu was rebellious, skipped classes and made trouble, was uneducated and acted wantonly. She was the most disgusted and naughty person who did nothing. She was cold and distant, avoided him, and never wanted to have anything to do with him. Under the same roof, the two are alienated, indifferent, and do not interfere with each other. They are the strangest and most awkward nominal siblings. All changes began with a school-wide art selection. By chance, Xie Jiu and Shen Beiling, who have extremely contrasting personalities and dislike each other, met the gentle and delicate Bai Zhenmeng, the cheerful and passionate Lu Ershi, and the calm and reliable Cheng Luo. The five people formed a temporary team and formed an exclusive band. From then on, the unruly school bully, the gloomy girl, and the gentle teammates were firmly tied to the same road. The band had a rough start. They experienced the conflicts of team members, the differences of styles, the frustration of stage mistakes, the doubts and ridicule from the outside world, and the regret of being eliminated from the competition. They endured academic pressure while gritting their teeth and persisting in their love. Countless days of rehearsing until late at night, countless moments of starting over together after arguing, countless moments of supporting each other through troughs, made the five people who were originally estranged become partners who understand each other best. It was also in the close company and day after day that Xie Jiu got a glimpse of the brokenness behind Shen Beiling's disguise. He no longer only saw her uncertainty, but slowly discovered that her silence was self-protection from constant fear, her collapse was the ultimate grievance from no one to redeem, and her weirdness was never hypocritical, but a real long-term illness that was difficult to recover from. In the process of watching her lose control of her emotions, internal conflict, and fall into darkness again and again, Xie Jiu changed from the initial impatience, confusion, and disgust to feeling distressed, concerned, and cautious. He began to subconsciously take care of her, accommodate her, and protect her. When everyone was afraid of her extreme emotions and stayed away from her broken darkness, only the unruly and flamboyant Xie Jiu broke into her rotten and gray world. He accompanied her to medical treatment, review, and psychological counseling. He accompanied her to fight against the repeated torture of bipolar disorder, gradually healing her childhood trauma and soothing her years of grievances. In the process of healing her, the young man unknowingly poured out his sincerity and fell deeply into despair. That unruly heart that was never bound by anyone completely fell on this scarred, sensitive and gloomy Shen Beiling. The band's ups and downs have firmly bound the five people to their youth and ideals. They survived the most difficult years of high school together, endured rumors, setbacks and troughs, redeemed and supported each other, and made the most sincere promise - to go to the same university, continue to work side by side, and never leave. The college entrance examination came to an end, and the boys and girls lived up to their time. They were all admitted to the same university and chose the same major. After losing the youthfulness and awkwardness of high school, Xie Jiu has completely become Shen Beiling's salvation and weakness. He caught all her bad emotions, tolerated all her pathological sensitivities, blocked all her malice, and healed her half-life pain. She slowly emerged from the shadow of childhood, her emotions gradually stabilized, and she learned to embrace the light, and all her tenderness belonged to Xie Jiu alone. From nominal siblings, to youth lovers, to the love of the rest of their lives. After four years of college, they are still the most tacit band partners and the most steadfast reliance on each other. After graduation, the five of them went on to pursue their own careers and worked hard in the fields they loved. Overcoming obstacles along the way, their careers rose steadily and shone brightly. After overcoming the worldly outlook, overcoming the shackles of origin, overcoming the torture of illness, and overcoming all the ups and downs of youth, Xie Jiu and Shen Beiling finally broke through all barriers and obstacles, ended their long love race, and entered the palace of marriage. Those few years were the most fulfilling and exciting time of their lives. A successful career, a stable life, your lover is by your side, and all the sufferings in the past are just prologue. Xie Jiu used his lifelong preference to heal Shen Beiling's first half of his life; Shen Beiling's gentle fetters stabilized Xie Jiu's unruly rest of his life. Everyone thought that they would stay together year after year and have a fulfilling life. But fate has always been cruel and never treats those who have endured all the hardships with joy. At the peak of life's smoothest, most stable and happiest life, a terminal illness suddenly comes without any warning. Xie Jiu, who has always been in good health and publicity, was diagnosed with leukemia... Intention: Love can overcome all difficulties, but it cannot win all difficulties.
